Sigh. I am a cheater's cheater. As a Teapotter, cheating is quite socially acceptable, but in the classy world of Karen Barber's color challenge it is quite another thing...
This week our cards are going to Tyler, an 8 year old boy in Wisconsin who recently had heart surgery. For details and to play along, hop on over to the Teaparty: MMTPT267 ~Oh Freddy start croakin', Rick's heart will be broken!~ by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
I stamped & applied the GA on this card, punched some red hearts and cut the black denim pocket on Sunday, sure that I could get it done on Monday night in time to post. Alas, when we got home from DS's home at 11:30 (after watching Monday night football) I was too exhausted to finish it. Lo and Behold this morning I discovered that the swanky Karen posted a delightful color combination that I could incorporate. I colored the black denim with Copic B19 to get a darker blue, found this ruched Muse-colored paper in me stash and cut a scalloped (dessert!) Strawberry heart instead. Cheater. PC generated and punched the sentiment. PT - 3
I {heart} you and your wonderful combinations, Karen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Look at you combining challenges! Good thing Monday Night Football was a late night! This is such a BOY card for sure and as a mom of 5 sons bet you know a thing or two about that, right?
